Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for registering devices with a distributed antenna system (DAS) and managing access to one or more mobile networks provided through the DAS. The DAS may include a centralized hub that may interface with various base stations to provide one or more mobile networks in a DAS deployment. In some embodiments, the centralized hub may communicate with one or more remote units that convert signals received from the centralized hub to be communicated using one of the distributed antennas. When a device attempts to connect to the mobile network, an access manager in the DAS can determine whether the device can access the mobile network. Access can be determined based on device registration with the DAS. In various embodiments, different service levels may be made available to different users, devices, types of traffic, etc. by the DAS.
